The game retains a lot of real-life rules including how to make certain products, so it’s no surprise that you can also make Stardew Valley mayo with eggs. But with the various kinds, sizes, and qualities of the eggs in-game, it can be confusing to keep track of which kinds result in different qualities of mayo.
This article will tell you what to expect when you have a jar of this delicious spread in your inventory.
What is Mayonnaise?
It’s an artisan good made with eggs using the Mayonnaise Machine. Different kinds of eggs will result in different qualities or quantities. For example, Ostrich Eggs make ten jars in one go!
